M 512 with no scoring on either side what is it? Maybe a migraine med I am told but no name???

Question

I have a pill also described as a pill for migraine but I do not know what it is other than that and I want to know more. On one side it has an M on top and 512 on bottom with no score separating the two, on the other side it has nothing and no score on that side either. All I read about that is close has scoring on one side, this has no scoring at all and the inscription just as told above. Does any one with migrains know what this is??? Thank you so much for your time!

There are two white tablets with similar imprints but are two different drugs.

One is a round pill with M over S12 (could look like 512). That is Sumatriptan 100 mg used for treating migraines (NDC 0378-5632).
